Scandal has had its fair share of real-life scandals of late. It started with Columbus Short, and now the actor Stephen Collins. According to AP, the actor has been cut from the current season of the ABC hit drama after charges that he sexually molested a 14-year-old girl back in 1972. Collins was meant to return to reprise his role as a television anchorman. The former 7th Heaven star is currently being investigated by the NYPD following the release of new audio where a man purportedly Collins can be heard saying he molested at least three young girls. The audio was released by TMZ earlier this week and is reportedly taken from a therapy session.
